8th Kidbrooke Beer and Cider Festival 2023
The 8th Kidbrooke Beer & Cider Festival will be taking place from 25th-27th May 2023
Entrance to the festival is £3 for members and £5 for non-members. This includes re-entry throughout the festival and a commemorative festival glass to keep.
A copy of the programme is now available as are the beer and cider lists.
BEERS UPDATE SAT 12pm: we will be opening on Sat with 32 beers still available, so plenty of choice. A number of the casks are getting low, so our advice is to turn up sooner rather than later. The beers list available via the above link has been updated to reflect the Sat opening position. There is also plenty of cider and perry available, plus we will have a range of Belgian/German/UK beers in bottle/can.
Sandwich rolls available all day, plus hot food from late afternoon onwards, including burgers, hotdogs, chips, chilli and curry. Vegetarian options also available.
Find Charlton Park RFC on GoogleMaps here. The festival is a 10-15 min walk from Kidbrooke rail station. Buses 132 and 286 stop at the end of Broad Walk, just a few minutes walk to the festival.
CAMRA London Big Birthday Bash

We would like to make this the biggest and best celebration of all that CAMRA in London has done over the last 50 years. Please click on the image below for more details of the event and how to get tickets.
